Resident Evil is a long-standing survival-horror game title that has been around since 1996

2.  Resident Evil was created in Japan by a man named
Shinji Murakami.
 It was first named “Biohazard,” however developers
decided against it since the name was already
trademarked.
 With its explosive start on the PS1 in 1996, Murakami
decided it was time to expand even more. This began a
whole new micro-industry in the gaming world.
 In Resident Evil, players had to navigate a house that was
full of… well… evil. This included horror-based cinematic
concepts, such as jump-scares and a persistent enemy.

3.  With its growing popularity, the Resident Evil Series
spawned a whole host of spinoffs.
 Though these spinoffs did not hurt production, they did not sell as
well as the original game.

4.  Over the past several years, Murakami has been making
a myriad of games, however Resident Evil has been one
of the most successful.
 The Resident Evil franchise has grown as it has aged:
with newer technologies paving the way, as well as
creative storytelling taking prevalence, loyal customers
are staying satisfied and newcomers are taking interest.
 Currently, The Resident Evil Series has sold over 60
million copies worldwide.

5. Just recently,
Murakami stepped
outside of his
threshold, and has
just published the
new single player
survival-horror
game, The Evil
Within, which has
been doing very
well.
